In this particular instance of football rules and reviews, I think “rules” and the application are overriding common sense.

I think that's true about a lot of football rules. Examples: If you block an extra point that would have given the other team 1 point, and return it, you get 2 points, why not 1 point? You're not allowed to horse collar someone (which I believe they now have expanded beyond the old definition of putting your hand inside the collar to make the tackle), but you can clothesline them and break their neck.
